This book belongs in every primary educators classroom. It is such a resourceful tool. The strategies and structures that readers need to understand books and the changes those readers experience as they move up the primary grades is discussed in this book. This book is really useful for that second grade teacher, who doesn't quite know how reading comprehension changes from first to second grade. This book provides the teacher with many strategies, planning and organizational tips. This is a necessary book. Quite informative.

This book has many practical ideas as well as good instructional practices. It is a must read for primary teachers!

I bought this book to bone up for the upcoming school year. I have been teaching fourth and fifth grade resource the last few years and I was a little apprehensive about returning to "word study" work after hearing that I'll be moving to second grade resource. This book is invaluable. Co-written in part by Gay Su Pinnell it provides most of the essential material included in all of the Fountas and Pinnell books we've used for years. But the key word is "essential" so it provides quicker and easier access, yet not watered down material, compared to their classic books. Pinnell and co-writer Patricia Scharer provide foundation and strategy material for both reading and writing blocks that no doubt you will use. Very valuable will be the appendix that lists books to use with emergent, early, and transitional readers. Highly recommended.
